Braintree's Dubois Selected As Next Portland Police Chief

BRAINTREE, MA — Braintree Police Chief Mark Dubois is likely to be on the move to Portland, Maine.

Portland City Manager Danielle West announced on Friday that she selected Dubois as the city's next police chief. The move isn't official quite yet, as Dubois needs to be confirmed by the City Council, who will vote on the move during a Monday meeting.

Dubois has been the chief in Braintree since 2019 and served as chief in Maynard, Mass. for seven years prior.

If confirmed, Dubois will start his new job in Portland on July 31. The city announced he will earn $165,000 annually.

“I’m excited to have Mark join the Portland Police Department and our City leadership team,” said City Manager Danielle West.

“Mark has demonstrated a commitment to instilling trust, spurring collaboration, and communicating and working with diverse communities. He has a deep understanding of the law and a passion for contributing to the advancement of his profession. I’d like to thank the City staff and community leaders who provided me with invaluable feedback during my decision making process.”
